+environment setup in osx
+========================
+(I rm'd my README by mistake at some point. Re-do).
+
+basically you need this to setup your environment:
+
+# check and consolidate
+
+# install xcode and macports 
+# port -v selfupdate
+# port install python26
+# port install python_select  # unneeded?
+# port install py26-pyqt4
+# port install py26-twisted
+# port install py26-pip
+# port install py26-virtualenv
+# port install git-core
+# port install gnutls
+# port install platypus
+
+Requirements
+============
+pyinstaller (in ~/pyinstaller)
+platypus (tested with latest macports)
+
+... + install environment as usual,
+      inside virtualenv.
+
+.. note:: there is something missing here, about troubles building gnutls extension,
+          I think I ended by symlinking global install via macports.
+
+Pyinstaller fix for sip api
+---------------------------
+We need a workaround for setting the right sip api.
+Paste this in the top of pyinstaller/support/rthooks/pyi_rth_qt4plugins.py::
+
+    import sip
+    sip.setapi('QString', 2)
+    sip.setapi('QVariant', 2)
+
+See www.pyinstaller.org/wiki/Recipe/PyQtChangeApiVersion.
+
+Building the package
+====================
+
+Building the binary
+-------------------
+We use the scripts in openvpn/build.zsh
+The packaging Makefile is expecting the final binary in the location::
+
+    ../../openvpn/build/openvpn.leap
+
+Running the build
+-----------------
+IMPORTANT: activate the VIRTUALENV FIRST!
+(you will get an import error otherwise)
+
+For running all steps at once::
+
+    make pkg
